Welbike / Villiers Jr. engine bits

Hello I am after a few missing bits for my Welbike restoration most importantly the clutch bridge and arm.

 

perhaps you have a spare autocycle or mower with a Villiers Jr lump in it in your garden shed. I have not had much luck with the parts sources on the internet yet, and I am in the States so we don't have many Villiers motors knocking around.

 

Would love to have it back together for my Normandy trip in June, cheers,

The obvious one for me is WELBIKE UK.

there is also a Villiers specialists, but can't remember the name.

The Autocycle is a bit rare here in UK, but the mower wouldn't be a problem.

Another one you could try is the LAWNMOWER MUSEUM, in SOUTHPORT!! (I kid you not, they also have a Tattoo museum AND pencil museum!!)

Good luck, wish I had a Delhi's myself, love them!!

I have tried Welbike and they have everything but the bridge and arm, he is still looking for one for me I hope

 

as for Villiers Service. they sent me an email that they have every part on the shelf for the VJD, so I sent a list but have never had a reply or price quote, I then asked if the part numbers would help and have had no reply to that either.

 

Perhaps I will set the alarm and try a phone call after waiting a bit more.

 

I have also emailed every Villiers or Welbike parts person I could find online, to the point that they told me that they already had requests from others for the same parts on my behalf.

 

after many years in automotive restoration, I have never had such a hard time trying to throw money at someone.

 

I am afraid I might have to make the missing parts myself to be able to make my June 1st deadline for Normandy

 

but I still have hope.
